Xanthomonas oryzae causes tremendous damage in rice plants (Oryza sativa L). Therefore, this study is focused on siderophore-producing Bacillus albus (CWTS 10) for managing BLB disease caused by X. oryzae. Both B. albus and its crude siderophore (methanolic and diethyl ether) extracts inhibited X. oryzae (10-12mm). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis of the extracts indicated the presence of catecholate siderophore functional groups. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of antimicrobial compounds such as 2-deoxystreptamine, miserotoxin, fumitremorgin C, pipercide, pipernonaline, gingerone A, and deoxyvasicinone. Complete genome sequencing revealed the gene clusters for antibiotic, siderophore, antibacterial, antifungal, and secondary metabolite production. An in vivo study revealed that bacteria (CWTS 10) and their siderophore extracts effectively inhibited X. oryzae. The mode of application of bacterial or siderophore extracts in terms of DI and DSI percentage was as follows: soak method > inoculation method > spray method. In addition to providing enhanced antagonistic activity, there was a significant increase in root and shoot length and weight (wet and dry) of treated plants compared to control plants challenged with X. oryzae. Thus, the results clearly indicate that siderophore-producing B. albus and its siderophore extracts strongly inhibited X. oryzae. However, further field experiments are required before being formulated to protect rice crops from X. oryzae.
